Why is it that some lines are coming up Times Roman in Firefox?

If I would use a style for the font--should I set it for {html} or
{body} or what?

I need to use verdana for the entire page.

You have a mixture of fonts, even in IE6. Those that are verdana are
specified <font face="Verdana">. It is possible that Times Roman occurs when
there is no spec. (i.e. it is the default)

Perhaps you need to remove all font specs from the HTML and put it in a
style sheet.

I would suggest
body { font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;}

This can be placed in the <head> section
e.g.
<head>
..........
<style type="text/css">
body { font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;}
</style>
..........
</head>

or it can be put in an external style sheet, say style.css which is linked
in the <head> section
<head>
..........
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
.........
</head>

One problem is that there are 265 occurrences of the word 'font' on your
page. It would need a lot of work to track all these down. But maybe by
putting Verdana as a style spec for the body, you can leave everything else
as is.

Good advice, all. A suggestion: I'm not sure if you can do this in
FrontPage, but in other editors, you can select everything on the page, and
then set the font to Default, and the font color to None, and the font size
to Default. That removes just about all of the <font> tags.

Why have 3 fonts in the font family if I only want Verdana?

They are fonts which are used in order, depending on whether they exist (are
installed on the user's browser)
That is, the spec is read as:
If verdana exists, use verdana
Else
If arial exists, use arial
Else
If helvetica exists, use helvetica
Else use sans-serif

sans-serif is a generic font, so hopefully it *will* exist

Using style sheets is definitely the best way to do it. Removing existing
font tags is very easy to do..with your page in normal or design
view..simply paint over all of your existing text and choose Format | Remove
Formatting and the font tags will be removed.
